Cheryl's deadly 'Create a Corpse Contest'
Friday, June 19, 2009 at 01:08AM 
Contest CLOSED!
Winning name is: WINSTON CHAMBERS, submitted by Wally Rabbani
Ever want to get revenge on a high school bully, your boss, a teacher, your ex-best friend? Well now you can.
From now until July 31st, 2009, you can submit a name (first & last) of someone you know or a fictitious name.
I am looking for a male name, suitable for a 50-ish cigar-smoking man.
On August 1st, 2009, I will select one winner from all the entries and use that name, fictitiously of course, in Lancelot's Lady, my novel-in-progress and an entry in the Textnovel/Dorchester "America's Next Best Celler" contest.
The winner will receive an autographed copy as soon as this novel is published. And the winner's initials will be credited on my acknowledgement page in the book, if they choose.
Keep in mind that the ‘corpse’ character will not intentionally look like or act like the person he or she is named after, nor will the character survive. After all, 'I kill people off for a living'.

Hi, Cher,
What a fun idea. I submit the name John Manha because he is a cigar-chomping 58-year-old that I know. Be gentle with him, should I win.. Hehehe ...
Beest of luck in this contest and all your great works.
Hugs - Betty
